Day 5 #BatMas: Pied butterfly bat (Glauconycteris superba) 🦇🌎🧪

This bat is very rare! It’s been captured a few of times, but after the 5th time, the species was put in the genus ‘Niumbaha’, named after the Zande word for ‘rare’. However, it is now part of the genus ‘Glauconycteris’

That’s the female I think. Blue legs! Great photo.

Went back - there’s thirteen fence posts in about a 200m+ stretch with bilberry. I was thinking that lots of rain is a requirement for this fence post growth, but only the very smallest badly affected by the recent drought. Which suggests lots of rain necessary until long roots grow?
